Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman is out two months pending medical clearance after a knockout loss to Yoel Romero at UFC 205.

MMAjunkie recently requested and today received the list of medical suspensions stemming from this past Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Weidman fared well in the first two rounds of the middleweight title-eliminator before Romero threw a flying knee as he attempted a takedown attempt. The impact immediately sent Weidman to the canvas and opened up a huge cut on his head, which bled generously on the octagon canvas.
